I am looking for help to add a simple study with alert for when a symbol hits new hi's or lo's of the day. ideally it will be able to plot a marker on chart as well as signal an alert with a sound file that I can hear.. I have tried the new daily high/low alert study on a 1 minute TF chart and it seems to do nothing,, any help will be appreciated

thanks

1) Add the Daily OHLC study,
-set the Reference Days Back to 0
-set the Graph High and Low Historically to Yes
-check 'Hide Study'

2) Add the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition study
-set the Draw Style to the marker of your choice
-put this formula in the Alerts tab:
=OR(ID1.SG2>ID1.SG2[-1],ID1.SG3<ID1.SG3[-1])
where the Daily OHLC study is ID1.

You'll need to separate the high and low alerts. Here's one way:

1) Add a second instance of the Color Bar Based On Alert Condition, and make it the low alert.
Put this formula in the Alerts tab:
=ID1.SG3<ID1.SG3[-1]

2) Put this formula in the Alerts tab of the first instance, as the High alert:
=ID1.SG2>ID1.SG2[-1]

3) Record two .wav files, one for each alert. Or use this text-to-speach app:

4) Go to Global Settings >> General Settings >> General 1 tab >> Alert Settings and assign the .wav files to Alert numbers.

5) Go to each Color Bar study and choose the corresponding assigned alert numbers.
